Experiments on the Reducing the number of UVB Lamps for Gel Image System

چکیده
This paper presents a low-cost method of constructing a UV illuminator, which is considered an important component of a gel documentation system. The procedure involves using a smallest-possible UV lamp in the UV illuminator instead of 4 UV lamps. A comparative analysis of images produced by using the commercial gel documentation system and our prototype was performed using MATLAB. Despite the use of only 1 UV lamp, the proposed system demonstrated a similar imaging performance compared to the image quality of a conventional gel documentation system equipped with 4 UV lamps.

Introduction: In recent years, use of compact fluorescent lamps has increased in order to optimize energy consumption. The aim of this study was to evaluate the radiations of electromagnetic spectrum from usual compact fluorescent lamps. Methods: In this study, 48 compact fluorescent lamps from different brands and cover (warm – cool) were selected. For studied lamps, operational facto...

Background and aims: Compact fluorescent lamps(CFLs) are low-pressure mercury vapor lamps, which are more useful than other light sources. Some studies reported the leakage of UV radiation from CFLs. The aim of this study was measuring of ultraviolet radiation from universal compact fluorescent lamps in Iran. Methods: In this study, measuring of UV radiation of 54 bulb compact fluorescent lamps...
متن کاملA randomized comparison of selective broadband UVB and narrowband UVB in the treatment of psoriasis.
UVB is widely used to treat psoriasis. Conventional broadband UVB lamps are less effective than narrowband UVB lamps, which have an emission peak at 311 nm. The long-term safety of narrowband UVB phototherapy is uncertain. "Selective" broadband UVB lamps, which have little emission <290 nm, are also available, but have not been adequately compared to narrowband UVB lamps. We performed a randomi...
متن کاملLow-cost Gel Imaging System Implementation in Reduced Size
In this paper, we proposed a method for configuring each component of a gel documentation system for the miniaturization and penetration of the system. To miniaturize the UV illuminator part, the minimum type of UVB lamp was adopted along with ballasts that can drive four lamps. As the imaging system, a conventional compact digital camera, which has a similar performance to that of a DSLR, was ...
متن کامل3D MRI gel dosimetry based on image intensity (A new approach)
Background: Since 1984 MRI gel dosimetry has been introduced as a potential technique for 3D dosimetry. Most of the studies have measured R1 (1/T1) or R2 (1/T2) properties of the gel depending on the gel type. We have studied image intensity change in the Fricke gel by different MRI protocols. Materials and Methods: Gel Dosimeters contain 0.4 mM ferrous sulphate, 1 mM NaCl, 50 mM H2SO4 and 1% b...
